Whas Sherman Does Not own.

NEW DIRK, April 9-The Tribune
published the following card: Sir:
In reply to absurd rumors that have
been travelling around the country for
the last five years and more particular
ly in reply to a Washington despatch in
the New York Times last Monday,
which names me as authority on the
subject, allow me to state the following
facts:
First. The statement tina t
General Sherman owns a thousand
shares in the First National Bank of
this city is false in every particular.
He does not own share in that bank
and never has owned a share in it.
Second. The statement that he owns
bonds of the Union Pacific railroad is
entirely false. He does not own any
Union Pacific bonds. and has never
owned any of them, or any stock in
that cooperation.
Third. The shares held by him in the
Pittsburg & Fort Wayne railroad are
held by him i'll trust, Jointly with Gen
eral Cass, and are in no sense his per-
sonal property; therefore the statement
that he held stock in that corporation
of S420, 900 is a falSehood.
Fourth. The statement that the sem
ator has between fifty and sixty houses
in Washington, besides valuable lots
ETC., is not only untrue, but displays
remarkable ingenuity in falsehood.
There is real estate agent in WASH
ington named John Sherman, whose
advertisements of houses for sale and
to rent are prominent throughout the
city, and the signs upon these houses
and lots are the only conceivable found
alton for such groteSque assertions.
The employment of reckless persons to
furnish falsehoods for publication con-
corning public men not only discredits
the employer but does more to incite
class prejudice than any other cause.
Respectfully, &. y. MoULTON,
Office of Moulton, johnson & Levy.
